Sir John Bowring was een Engelse politieke econoom, reiziger, polyglot en de 4e gouverneur van Hongkong. Zijn uitgebreide werk en reiservaringen verrijkten zijn literaire output, die gekenmerkt werd door een diversiteit aan thema's en stijlen. Hij onderzocht verschillende culturen en economische systemen, wat weerspiegeld werd in zijn geschriften over politieke economie en sociale kwesties. Zijn vermogen om in meerdere talen te communiceren maakte een diepere betrokkenheid bij de onderwerpen die hij behandelde mogelijk.
